Chapter 497

On the ramparts of Jincheng.

The majority of the Trap-Breaking Battalion led by Gao Shun had already completed their ascent of the city walls.

Under Gao Shun's command, the two hundred men split into left and right flanks, sealing off both sides of the entire western wall.

The Qiang soldiers who came to reinforce were unable to provide any support and were instead forcibly pushed back by the soldiers of the Vanguard Battalion.

After occupying nearly the entire western wall, Gao Shun led his soldiers to charge down toward the city.

No sooner said than done.

From the start of the ascent to the occupation of the entire western wall, not even half a shichen had passed.

The Qiang garrison on the walls had no time to react at all.

It was only after Gao Shun had already occupied the entire western wall that the messengers sent by the Qiang garrison arrived at the government office in Jincheng.

However, it was already too late.

The garrison on the walls was already insufficient, let alone those inside the city.

For these past five days, in order to lull the Qiang garrison inside the city into a false sense of security, Yuan Shao's side had not touched the city gates even once.

Therefore, there were even fewer Qiang soldiers guarding the gates below the walls.

After securing the western wall, Gao Shun led four hundred men directly in a charge down from the western wall.

"Kill!"

Gao Shun, taking the lead, held a shield in one hand and brandished his straight blade in the other, charging directly into the gate tunnel beneath the wall.

The remaining soldiers of the Trap-Breaking Battalion followed suit, each holding a shield in one hand and a blade in the other, advancing in unison.

The dozens of Qiang soldiers inside the gate tunnel did not even put up a decent resistance before they were slaughtered to the last man.

At the very moment the western city gate was opened.
